Honestly, it boosts productivity in ways that feel almost magical - no more fumbling with keyboards when inspiration strikes. Let's break down what makes it tick. The core is its AI-powered transcription that hits about 97% accuracy, especially in quiet spots, and it learns your voice over time to get even better.
You speak, it types - simple as that, with real-time conversion that keeps up with your pace. Key features include offline mode for basic notes (handy when you're offline on a hike, you know?), multi-language support for over 30 tongues, and easy exports to PDFs or docs. Plus, there's customizable vocab for industry jargon - I work in marketing, so adding terms like 'SEO' or 'CTR' without spelling them out is a game-changer.
And the privacy? No data hoarding, which is rare these days. But I was torn at first - does it really handle accents well? In my experience, it does pretty decently with mine (Southern drawl and all), though background noise can trip it up a bit. For target users, think busy professionals like journalists jotting interviews, students capturing lectures, or execs dictating emails on the go.
Sales teams love it for quick follow-up notes, and I've seen podcasters use it to transcribe episodes fast. It's ideal for anyone who speaks faster than they type, which is basically everyone. What sets Letterly apart from big names like Otter or Google Voice? Well, it's lighter on resources, doesn't require constant cloud uploads, and that one-time purchase option feels like a steal compared to endless subs.
No ads, no creepy data grabs - just straightforward utility. I initially thought the free version was too limited, but actually, it's enough to hook you before upgrading. Look, I'm no tech wizard, but after testing a bunch last year amid all the remote work boom, Letterly has stuck with me. It saves me at least two hours a week, easy.
If you're tired of typing drudgery, grab the free trial from the app store and see for yourself - you won't regret it.
